Astral Ants

Chapter 354 Preparing for Battle (4K Subscription)
The time has come for early spring.

Baifan urgently rushed to work. First, he set up earth and rock supports for the green and red kiwifruit god-given seeds on the ridge, and carefully propped the vines up to a height of 2 meters from the ground.

The common kiwi species of green maple and red maple have started to transition from high-grade to mountain-main grade, and the old leaves withered and fell off.

With the assistance of Qingfeng and Wufan, who awakened the talents of the wood system, Baifan used the ability of the soil system to replace all the wooden supports up and down the mountain, and preset the supports for the next growth of the plants in advance.

Long Bai and Mo Lan also stayed to help...

……

After completing the annual transaction with the Flame Spider Merchant, Long Bai seized the time to transport rough stones to Huaqi Mountain until late autumn.

All the 900 million rough stones purchased for Dingsoul Fruit are in place, and 70 rough stones are reserved in the barren plain.

According to the four-party accounting of the dragon cypress, the Huaqi sacred tree, the Quandong sacred tree, and the seed bestowed by the Yexiang god, it is not surprising that in the autumn of the following year, the white Berber ant king and the Red Berberry ant queen will sleep and evolve into 6th age lords.

Unexpectedly, it will be next autumn.

Longbai started the pre-war preparations.

First preparation: food
Pack it in a gourd container, and transport enough ant honey for 4000 specialized blue soldiers to feed for two years to the barren plain.

……

Transfer 200 mountain master-level specialized blue ants from Bailian Lake, Heilian Lake, Molan Mountain and Nansuanzao Mountain to the ant nests in Xianglan Mountain.

The Pandan Hill ant nest also needs to reserve food for two years.

……

The sugar palm rainforest was reclaimed last winter, and Hei Ye took care of the newly planted fruit seedlings there.

Hei Ye transferred back to Pandan Mountain.

The reclamation of Hulan Mountain has been completed.

Hei Ti went back to Xianglan Mountain.

The red juniper and the chestnut bean that were planted on the South Suanzao Mountain have grown to a large scale, and ordinary jungle beasts cannot hurt them.

Cuibai also returned to Xianglan Mountain.

All Zuo Wang returned to Xianglan Mountain.

Long Bai personally led an army of 2000 ants, with silver cypresses, black leaves, and black leaves, and arranged for them to command the march. Starting from the nest in Hongnan Mountain in the north, sticking to the divine power barrier, and then going 300 kilometers northward, the extinction-style sweep was carried out. All living things that can be eaten.

While hunting, Longbai taught Yinbai, Heiti, and Heiye how to command the soldiers to march and fight.

Return to Pandan Mountain to rest for a whole day.

Start again, and start from the branch nest of Hongrong Mountain in the south, sweeping 300 kilometers south.

It's winter,

The winter fishing activities in Heilian Lake will continue as usual, and fishing efforts will be increased.

Pandanshan food reserves are in place.

……

The second pre-war preparation: military training
Attacking the termite kingdom, juniper, giant cypress, and cypress will join the battle.

The main nest of Xianglan Mountain in the rear is mainly defended by Yinbai's troops, and is assisted by Heiti and Heiye who can also command soldiers.

Early spring,

For the time being, Juniper and Giant Cypress will take Hei Ti and Hei Ye to stay at Xianglan Mountain, teach them how to command the mountain master-level specialized blue soldiers to fight, and practice the group battle formation of the blue soldiers.

Long Bai led Cui Bai and Yin Bai to the barren plain.

The number of mountain master-level specialized blue soldiers stationed in the barren plain has exceeded 3500.

Commanded by Cui Bai and Yin Bai, formal combat training began.

In the early years, Heiti dug a reservoir here, and Baifan helped to reinforce it with the ability of hardening soil and rocks.

It snows in winter and the reservoir is covered with snow.After the ice and snow melt in spring, there is water.

Cuibai and Yinbai first divided the ant colony into groups of 50 and came to the reservoir in groups to practice basic water control and freezing abilities.

These mountain lord-level specialized blue soldiers are very smart, and they only need to practice two or three times to master it initially, and to become proficient after a dozen times.

Long Bai stayed in Xianglan Mountain, and after the end of the spring transaction with the flame spider merchants, he went straight to the barren plain to start a formal battle formation against the ant army.

The three specialized blue soldiers form a basic combat team. Whether it is marching or fighting, they must maintain a triangular formation of one front and two rear, covering each other and supporting each other.

These three ants usually live together, eat together, walk together, get to know each other, and are familiar with each other.

Three combat teams, 9 specialized blue soldiers form a combat team; three squads, 27 specialized blue soldiers form a brigade.

50 brigades, 1350 specialized blue soldiers form a legion.

There are three legions.

In the future, they will be commanded by Juniper, Giant Cypress, and Cuibai respectively.

The ant king has a stronger control over the ant colony. For the time being, the dragon cypress ant king will personally command and train various battle formations.

The battle of the ant army is not about rushing upwards, but simply fighting for numbers. It also has the right time and place, and there are such terms as cooperation, tactical formation, and strategy.

Some knowledge is described in the memory of the ant clan inheritance.

Some things were figured out by Long Bai himself based on the characteristics of the blue soldiers.

What formation to use when marching in the mountains; what formation to use when charging on the plain; what formation to use if you are close to rivers, ditches, lakes and other favorable locations;

For a single King Zuo, it is easy to command dozens of ants, but it is difficult to command hundreds of ants. Commanding an army of thousands of ants to participate in large-scale wars, these ants must first undergo rigorous combat training to strengthen them. Combat discipline and will.

Similarly,

Yinbai, Heiti, and Heiye who stayed at Xianglan Mountain need special training.

Junipers, giant cypresses, and cypresses commanding large armies in battle require further training.

……

The third pre-war preparation: full assembly
early summer,
Long Bai went to Scarlet Mountain to complete the harvest of the god-given scarlet fruit, and picked up Sang and Ghost Fan along the way, and sent them to Huaqi Mountain first.

Running continuously, the white willow, white rice, black rice, green maple, and red maple that participated in the war were all brought to Huaqi Mountain.

Send silver cypress back to Xianglan Mountain, and bring juniper and giant cypress to Citi Hill.

Send Cedar to Yinbai Mountain, help Shanshi to take care of its persimmon garden, and pick Shanshi to Huaqishan.

Finally, I took Mo Lan and Cui Bai to Citi Hill.

After running around for a while, they participated in the attack on the backbone of the Termite Kingdom, and all members gathered under the Quandong Sacred Tree.

……

The war is coming,

The atmosphere is a little depressing.

Cypress has the ability to freeze, and the ice tray simulates the mountains and rivers of the Tilia worm country, marking the Tilia God-given Seed, Termite Palace, Life Seed Garden, Berberberry God-given Seed, Red Berberry God-given Seed, and Garrison Division Nest Wait for the key point.

Long Bai: "This battle must be won!"

Long Bai: "This is the conclusion that I and Quandong Shenshu synthesized all-round information and deduced repeatedly."

Long Bai pointed at the trunk of Quandong Sacred Tree with a diameter of more than 10 meters not far away, and said:

"The Quandong Sacred Tree was once the leader of the most powerful clan in Yunji Continent. It has witnessed the ups and downs of an era of force. Its knowledge and wisdom are beyond doubt."

The insects who were still a little bit suspicious all clicked their tentacles to agree, and the green maple and the red maple saw the opportunity quickly, and cheered with their fore feet high: Victory!must win!must win!

No worm joins.

Long Bai raised his front foot to signal silence, and then said: "Let me first tell everyone about our battle plan in detail."

"The age evolution of the Zerg race, the first few days after falling asleep, the deep sleep is the deadliest, and the most difficult to wake up, is the best time for combat. Therefore, we must understand the evolution of the white Berber ant king and the Red Berber ant queen at the first time, and react."

"Me and Molan are squatting in the mountains between the barren plain and the Tilia worm country. Molan has a super-sensitive sense of the force. Once he detects the movement, it is confirmed that the ant king and queen have evolved. I will send Molan in first." Tilia worm country."

Longbai tapped the ice plate map with its tentacles, and said: "This is an inconspicuous small mountain range on the edge of the Tilia worm kingdom, which has not been reclaimed by the termite kingdom. Mo Lan and I have repeatedly surveyed, and it is an absolutely safe and hidden landing point .”

Long Bai: "Once the battle is confirmed, I will immediately return to the barren plain and divide it into three trips. The first trip will take ghost fans, mountain persimmons, spruces, and white rice; the second trip will take mulberry, green maple, red maple, and black rice; On the third trip, pick up juniper, giant cypress, green cypress, and white willow, and lead the army of ants over there."

"The straight-line distance between the barren plain and the Tilia worm country is only about 300 kilometers, and it only takes... a short time! The ant colony marches, crosses the mountains, and crosses the land of force, and it only takes one day."

Longbai's tentacles clicked on the hill to the west of the ice plate map again, and said: "All members gather here, lurking and resting, and Bailiu conducts high-altitude reconnaissance, confirms that the map and the situation are correct, and launches a surprise attack in the middle of the night."

龙柏：“我率领蚁军，分别经过白蚁王国的1号、2号、3号、4号、5号分巢，突袭将这些分巢驻兵打掉。”

"Yunshan and Guishan led the elite team of Zerg warriors to follow behind the ant army. When they reached this position, which is the peak where the barley bug warrior Wuye lived, they split into two groups and acted separately."

Long Bai's tentacles pointed, and said: "You stealthily attack, remove No. 6, No. 7, No. 8, No. 9, and No. 10 nest... You wait in the position of No. 10 nest."

Long Bai: "The ant army under my command pretends to attack from the south the garden where the god-given seed of the white beer tree takes root, and fights along the river to attract as much combat power as possible from the termite kingdom."

Long Bai: "When the giant ant army was fighting with the termite army, Yunshan and Guishan led the elite team to set off from the No. 10 nest and launch a surprise attack on the palace from the west."

Long Bai: "Unexpectedly, he rushed straight to the side of the palace, broke through the wall, and helped Mo Lan sneak into the interior."

Long Bai: "The giant ant army at the mountain master level can't last long in front of the termite army at the lord level, so everyone must move fast, make lightning strikes, and go straight to the target. You must not love to fight."

Long Bai: "Molan successfully killed the king and queen of ants, depending on the situation, follow the instructions and act. Either evacuate and wait for the king to weaken and die, and the termite army will be severely injured and out of control; or take advantage of the vacancy and attack fiercely and wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Long Bai: "The overall action plan is like this, do you have any questions?"

Plain and simple, no questions asked.

The insects shook their tentacles one after another.

Junbai had doubts, but seeing the situation in front of him, he didn't dare to raise them again. If he asked at this time, he was afraid that he would be beaten to death.

Baifan raised his paw and asked, "Longbai Ant King, isn't there still 14 barley worm fighters at the mountain master level in that Tilia worm country? This is also a fighting power that cannot be ignored!"

Long Bai shook his tentacles and said, "One more person has been added, and now there are 15. But I suspect that there are more than one warrior in the tribe of Barley Bugs colluding with the Termite Kingdom, so it cannot be trusted. If the word leaks, the Termite Kingdom will have Take precautions, the consequences will be disastrous."

Long Bai: "Besides, the barley worm fighters are life-type talents, awakening healing talents, and they won't be of much help when they come. When passing by the barley worm warrior Wuye's territory, let them come later with a short notice."

Baifan moved his tentacles and said, "Understood! It makes sense."

Long Bai: "Do you have any questions?"

Baifan asked again: "Longbai Ant King, I heard from Mo Lan that there is a new assistant king in the Termite Kingdom..."

Long Bai: "This is what I'm going to analyze next. Once the war starts, all kinds of changes we may encounter!"

The tentacles of Longbai pointed to the map of the ice plate, and said: "I will analyze the distribution of the battle power of the Termite Kingdom in detail. At present, there are two kings at the lord level, named Baiqian and Hongding, and there are eight kings at the mountain master level. The initial estimate of the number of soldier ants is 8, and it is estimated that 6000 are resident in the palace. According to detailed statistics, about 3000 are scattered in various sub-nests in the Land of Force..."

……

Long Bai analyzed in detail, deduced various possibilities, and countermeasures.

Some are overly complicated.

Listening and listening, everyone began to feel confused, only Yunshan and Sang were still twitching their tentacles.

Spruce has been analyzed and discussed several times with Longbai, Huangzhu, and Quandong Sacred Tree, and it is clear to the heart.

Sang looked completely confused, and subconsciously tapped the tentacles there.

Long Bai's narration came to an abrupt end.

"It's not a big problem. I, Mo Lan, and Yunshan have all eaten the soul-fixing fruit, and can use the soul-fixing ability to communicate over a long distance. In wartime operations, everyone runs behind the ghost fan and listens to Yunshan's command."

"In addition, we also have the Black Wingfly warrior Bai Liu, who can look down from the sky and look at the whole situation. He can report in real time the movement of the termite army outside the range of the soul-fixing ability. We have an absolute information advantage."

- That's right!
——Listen to the command and follow.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Long Bai asked: "Quandong Sacred Tree, I have finished explaining, do you have anything to add?"

Quandong Sacred Tree: "No."

Quandong Shenshu: "You are an extremely clever ant king, but I still want to remind you and everyone that in the real battlefield, the battle situation changes rapidly, and what can be deduced is only a big trend. Unexpected changes. In the face of these changes, avoid panic, always stay calm, think calmly and deal with it.”

Long Bai: "Understood!"

Yun Shan: "Remember."

The other insects responded one after another and thanked them.

Quandong Shenshu: "You don't have to be too nervous. Think from the perspective of the termite kingdom. They have been living in the island of force and don't know our existence. When the white beiber ant king and red beiber ant queen sleep and evolve, even if they are on guard , the defense is only those barley bug fighters who have no combat effectiveness. There is neither psychological preparation nor operational preparation. When they encounter a sudden attack, the first to panic must be the termites."

That's right!It was a surprise attack.

The termite king and queen will never understand who killed them and where the termites came from.

The insects are happy.

At last,
Long Bai said solemnly, "I can guarantee that the war will be won, but I cannot guarantee that everyone present will see the victory."

Long Bai: "So, for the next three months of combat training, everyone must do their best. The more tacit cooperation among team members, the lower the probability of casualties."

All the insects followed solemnly, and solemnly clicked their tentacles to agree.

Long Cypress: "Mo Lan, Bai Liu, let's go hunting, have a dinner to celebrate, and the training camp will officially start tomorrow morning. Juniper, giant cypress, and green cypress will follow me back to the barren plain. The other insects will stay in Huaqi Mountain for a month. Tree guidance, teaching everyone how to use their respective abilities, and practicing team battle formations."

……

Barren plain.

Three legions, 4050 specialized blue soldiers are full.

Juniper, giant cypress, and cypress each led a legion and began various trainings.

Specialized soldier ants and large soldier ants began to come out of the nest one after another.

In the following time, Long Bai cultivated as many melee soldier ants as possible.

The soldier ants also form a small team of 3, with one specialized soldier ant and two large soldier ants.

Not surprisingly, the war will start in the fall of the coming year.

At that time, the number of soldier ants exceeded 1000, which could form the fourth army.

Long Bai trained and commanded himself.
